'''Whirlwind''' debuted in Blizzard's [[WWI 2008]] with the announcement of Diablo 3. It is pretty much identical to III, as a Tier 4 skill on the Diablo 2 Whirlwind, except requiring [[FuryBerserker Skill Tree]] to use.
During the [[BlizzCon 2009]] Diablo 3 panel, the development team showed off visual changes to the skill. With the creation of the [[Desert Dervish]], who also use a form of whirlwind, the [[D3 Team]] found out that the Dune Dervish's whirlwind is much better looking than the Barbarian's. In order to rectify this, they improved the Whirlwind animation with more blur, and more Barbarian copies in it.
